Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. /If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise /For mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /

I saw your face / and I ascended, /Out of the common place / into the rare. /Somewhere in space / I hang suspended /Until I know / there's a chance that you care. /

Oh, won't you answer this loving prayer /Of a stranger in paradise? /Don't send me in dark despair / for all that I hunger for. /But open your angel eyes / to the stranger in paradise, /And tell him that he will be / a stranger no more. /

Take my hand, / I'm a stranger in paradise. /All lost in a wonderland, / a stranger in paradise. /If I stand starry-eyed / that's a danger in paradise /For mortals who stand / beside an angel like you. /
